So, to get this back on topic here, was it a 12-lb, 16-year old Canada goose that flew into the jet engine on Air Force Two, or some other large bird?

"Canada geese can live for 10-24 years and .... are monogamous with most couples staying together all their lives. If one dies, the other may find a new mate." ...... Wikipedia
Why are articles always referring to bird-strikes that are akin to committing bird suicide?

That Canada Goose was flapping his wings "at altitude"—minding his own business—when Air Force 2 scooped him out of the sky.
